Draft Breakdown is alright. They aren't updated for the 2019 class yet, but you can search individual names and some old film may be available.

Both. And I've yet to see a remotely compelling argument to the contrary.

I guess you don't like it when the Bills score points...

Here, you tell me what I'm missing.

You might want to think again. This whole conversation started because someone claimed AJ already is an upgrade. Which others, myself included asked 'based on what?' in return. And this isn't the only thread or person who's done it. Also, I have not provided highlights or lowlights of any kind. I have reviewed all of his NFL stats though, not just his bad ones, and compared them to those of the QB people are claiming he is better than.

[1] There is very little to go off of with McCarron, as opposed to the other guys where you know what you're getting. They took a shot on someone with less experience and potentially a higher ceiling. Not all that surprising. [2] I made no mention of dumping McC for Peterman. In this scenario neither of them would be on the roster.

You're making assumptions on cost and ability that I'm not ready to make. The premise I presented was that McCarron was so bad that he proved he wasn't worth a roster spot. However unlikely that may be.

I think Matt Moore and Derek Anderson are both still available and both have ties to Beane. I'm certainly not saying McC should get released, but if he proves to not be worth a roster spot there are veteran options with more experience.

Yep.

Oh, I get it. I just think the answer varies depending on when you take your snapshot of last year. Pre-season? Matthews, Jones, Holmes, Tate Week 8? Matthews, Jones, Thompson, Holmes, Tate Week 15? Benjamin, Thompson, Jones, Tate You catch my drift.

Jordan Matthews had the 2nd highest snap count of all the WRs on our roster last year, despite missing time. I guess Benjamin actually had more snaps than Tate too, though.

Eh, are we counting a hobbled Benjamin that didn't play much in 2017 for us? Also, I'd imagine Streater is ahead of McCloud for now.

Depends how long people insist on using him as the measuring stick, I suppose.

Peterman, Holmes, Ducasse, or Mills would be my guesses

You skipped a very important part of the equation. Moulds was targeted 37 times that year. Jones was targeted 74 times.

When? In what context? In 2015? Tyrod was my 13th best QB, McCarron would have come in at 30th. For context, Dalton was 6th in 2015. Over the past 3 years combined? Tyrod is my 19th best QB, McCarron would be 27th. For context, Dalton was T-17th over the past 3 years. The fact is that McCarron has been worse than Tyrod in nearly every relevant QB statistic based on their entire bodies of work. Does that mean AJ can't improve? No, but to expect it is being optimistic at best.

Those stats are their entire NFL bodies of work, including their playoff games. If you want to ignore the larger sample size for a minuscule one that's your choice. Hopefully that's not something you learned at the incredible educational institution that is the University of Alabama though.

Did you just become a Bills fan in 2017?

Man, I hate slideshow sites...

And even then, he'd still only be 30.

I do like my Oregon RBs.

His overall output was anemic? Over the past 3 years TT averaged 222.1 yards of offense per game. In the 5 games AJ played significant time in, he averaged 199.8 yards of offense per game. TT averaged 1.477 TDs per game, AJ averaged 1.400. Tyrod's TD% was 3.96, AJ's was 3.72. Certainly you also think AJ's overall output was anemic when given significant play time as well, right? As far as clutch time goes, in AJ's playing time he had exactly 1 4th quarter TD. And 0 4th quarter TDs when the game was within 7 points. link

I was just messing with you because they don't play the Bengals until the last week of November, so he can't lose to the Bengals until then

But defenses aren't going to back out of the box because of Benjamin. And the other receivers on our team haven't been too great when it comes to contested catches. I definitely think we're still missing our 'take the top off' guy. I'm just not sure the guy they wanted was available to us at this point this offseason.

So he's starting until December?
